Solid Reflection

Okay, I have to say something. Ever get the urge to yell at the top of your lungs and say how you truly, brutally, feel? Why is it so hard sometimes? This blog's purpose, honestly, is the outlet to freedom. Readers out there, I'm just like you, diving into my interests, and figuring out what on earth am I to do with this one life.

The churning feeling I get after reading this quote immediately reminds me of my past. In my senior year, I had to choose a quote for my grad photos and I chose some words of wisdom by John F. Kennedy. Why not a quote from Audrey Hepburn or Dr. Maya Angelou perhaps? I adore and admire the women I just mentioned, but its about what he said that convinced me to take my life more seriously.

In putting them in my own words, I now think that nothing is more important than being thankful
for today, and the people in my life. College just happened, like destiny or the grace of a higher power literally guided me to today, right now. Its crazy to think that 4 years ago I was scared to drive,
let alone graduate with a college degree! With that being said, what I do today should matter, regardless if people think being a volunteer that may not pay as much, that asks a lot of my time and energy, is not enough to sustain me. I believe that it is meant to enhance and change my life. But, I consider it all, the good, the bad, the better.

Yes, there is a better. Its the optimist inside me to find the sunshine even in the darkest room, and its possible to do that too.

 Words are words....we say them everyday, but every single inch of them if you believe can mean something great, no matter how simple, or quiet, or loud.

Yeah, even the "bleeps." In fact those words effect the world around us as we drive to work, get stuck in traffic, you know what I mean. Its a matter of composure and keeping it together that's the key. Our engine does not run on malice it runs on the fuel of ambition, aka the car that is who we are.
and who we are is our definition. Without it, we could be running on empty for a while.
Think about it, how did you get here?

Til next time,
